Ben Barek Maroc Football 1950s 60s La Perle Noire

Ben Barek back in the day old school Casablanca, Morocco.

The Morocco national football team, nicknamed Lions de l'Atlas (Atlas Lions), is the national team of Morocco and is controlled by the Fédération Royale Marocaine de Football. They were the first African team to qualify directly to the World Cup finals, as they did in 1970. They were the first African team to win a group at the World Cup, which they did in 1986, finishing ahead of Portugal, Poland, and England. They were also the first African team to make it to second round barely losing to eventual runner-ups West Germany 1-0 in 1986. They also came within two minutes of moving out of the group stage of the the 1998 World Cup, Kjetil Rekdal's late winning goal for Norway against Brazil eliminating them.

Morocco won the African Nations Cup once, in 1976.

Pele, the soccer legend who took the name of the "Black Pearl" after Ben Barek made a famous statement about Larbi in which he says " If i am the king of soccer, then Larbi Ben Barek is the god of it".Such a statement,specially coming from a player that is perhaps, if not is the best soccer player that ever existed, can only show the magic and grateness the Moroccan player was gifted with.

thanks for posting this video, its truly a rare piece of evidence that shows that our country has a rich history in soccer . he was a gifted and talented person. he was an artist who immensely contributed to the art of the game. he will never be forgotten.unfortunately his memory did not receive much attention from hasni ben sliman entourage or those who care about the future of succer in this country. honor him by at least naming a stadium after him ,
